Essay from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: A, Jamshedpur Womens College (Affiliated to Kolhan University), language: English, abstract: The present paper discusses Charles Lambs Dream Children: A Reverie in the light of Sigmund Freuds Psychoanalysis. Lambs life even though it may appear to have glistened on the surface reeked of intense pain and suffering.



Lamb led an active public life though his inward thoughts were a very private matter altogether. He was the best of friends and only those close to him knew of his dilemma. A detailed description of Lambs personal life together with a concise history of psychoanalysis has been laid out so as to determine the psychology behind Lambs reverie.



The unconscious is given a favourable position in the human mind, which is seen as a justifiable outlet of all the suppressed and the forgotten. Ultimately, all psychological vistas and propositions are shown to facilitate the emergence of the so-called Dream Children.
